Presenting Mia at CHI's Meeting...

On Monday night, we had the privilege of presenting Mia to the expecting adoptive parents at the monthly CHI meeting. For over two years now, we have attended the meeting and our favorite part has always been seeing the new babies that were introduced. It was always the light at the end of the tunnel and would give us hope in the midst of our wait.

And just about every parent would conclude their time by saying, "It was well worth the wait." Which was, on the one hand, encouraging and...on the other deflating - just because the wait was so cruel for us all.

So when it was our turn, we presented Mia Pu (as the picture will show her and her sister sporting their only matching and far over-used outfit to date), told a few stories, answered a couple of questions and then concluded sheepishly with, "It was well worth the wait."

Simply because she is.
